171# is no limit, and it's up to the number of file descriptors the Redis process
92f8e882 172# is able to open. The special value '0' means no limits.
285add55 173# Once the limit is reached Redis will close all the new connections sending

177
3fd78bcd 178# Don't use more memory than the specified amount of bytes.
179# When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys with an
180# EXPIRE set. It will try to start freeing keys that are going to expire
181# in little time and preserve keys with a longer time to live.
182# Redis will also try to remove objects from free lists if possible.
183#
184# If all this fails, Redis will start to reply with errors to commands
185# that will use more memory, like SET, LPUSH, and so on, and will continue
186# to reply to most read-only commands like GET.
144d479b 187#
188# WARNING: maxmemory can be a good idea mainly if you want to use Redis as a
189# 'state' server or cache, not as a real DB. When Redis is used as a real
190# database the memory usage will grow over the weeks, it will be obvious if
191# it is going to use too much memory in the long run, and you'll have the time
192# to upgrade. With maxmemory after the limit is reached you'll start to get

165346ca 197# MAXMEMORY POLICY: how Redis will select what to remove when maxmemory
198# is reached? You can select among five behavior:
199#
200# volatile-lru -> remove the key with an expire set using an LRU algorithm
201# allkeys-lru -> remove any key accordingly to the LRU algorithm
202# volatile-random -> remove a random key with an expire set
203# allkeys->random -> remove a random key, any key
204# volatile-ttl -> remove the key with the nearest expire time (minor TTL)
5402c426 205# noeviction -> don't expire at all, just return an error on write operations
206#
207# Note: with all the kind of policies, Redis will return an error on write
208# operations, when there are not suitable keys for eviction.
209#
210# At the date of writing this commands are: set setnx setex append
211# incr decr rpush lpush rpushx lpushx linsert lset rpoplpush sadd
212# sinter sinterstore sunion sunionstore sdiff sdiffstore zadd zincrby
213# zunionstore zinterstore hset hsetnx hmset hincrby incrby decrby

218# maxmemory-policy volatile-lru
219
220# LRU and minimal TTL algorithms are not precise algorithms but approximated
221# algorithms (in order to save memory), so you can select as well the sample
222# size to check. For instance for default Redis will check three keys and
223# pick the one that was used less recently, you can change the sample size
224# using the following configuration directive.

44b38ef4 228############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
229
230# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
231# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
232# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
233# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
234# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
4005fef1 235# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
44b38ef4 236# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
237#
238# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
239# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
240# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
241# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.

48f0308a 252# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
253# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
254#
255# Redis supports three different modes:
256#
257# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
258# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
259# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
260#
6766f45e 261# The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
262# speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
263# "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
264# it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
265# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),

276# saving process (a background save or AOF log background rewriting) is
277# performing a lot of I/O against the disk, in some Linux configurations
278# Redis may block too long on the fsync() call. Note that there is no fix for
279# this currently, as even performing fsync in a different thread will block
280# our synchronous write(2) call.

282# In order to mitigate this problem it's possible to use the following option

286# This means that while another child is saving the durability of Redis is
287# the same as "appendfsync none", that in pratical terms means that it is

b333e239 295# Automatic rewrite of the append only file.
296# Redis is able to automatically rewrite the log file implicitly calling

298#
299# This is how it works: Redis remembers the size of the AOF file after the
300# latest rewrite (or if no rewrite happened since the restart, the size of
301# the AOF at startup is used).
302#
303# This base size is compared to the current size. If the current size is
304# bigger than the specified percentage, the rewrite is triggered. Also
305# you need to specify a minimal size for the AOF file to be rewritten, this
306# is useful to avoid rewriting the AOF file even if the percentage increase
307# is reached but it is still pretty small.
